Chapter 109: [Changes]
Sapphire blue California stopped in front of a thick-looking iron gate and honked twice. The surveillance camera on the doorpost shifted to the car, only to hear a soft sound of the door lock, and then the iron door slowly opened, and California drove in along the bluestone pavement, and the iron door slowly closed behind the car.
On both sides of the road, there are French plane trees of the thickness of one person hugging each other, and the open canopy completely hides the top of the road. The grass under the trees has not faded its green due to the arrival of autumn.
After walking dozens of meters to the end of the road, there are no longer trees to obstruct you, and your vision is broadened. I saw a circular fountain pool behind a building in the style of East and West, although it is only three floors, it looks particularly simple and atmospheric.
California stopped in the open space in front of the building, and Liang Wenbo got out of the car and walked towards the building. After entering the foyer, he continued on, passing through the back door.
There is also a bluestone path behind the building, but it is narrower than the road at the entrance, and there are no tall trees on either side.
Liang Wenbo followed this road and entered an arched courtyard gate, and a bamboo forest appeared in front of him. After passing through this small bamboo forest, a small two-story building comes into view.
On the grass in front of the building, there are two rattan easy chairs and a rattan table. On one of the chairs, a ***** woman who looked to be about forty years old sat staring at a meadow at her feet, seemingly distracted, unaware of Liang Wenbo's arrival.
Liang Wenbo walked over, put the things in his hand on the table, squatted down on the woman's side, and called softly, "Auntie." ”
When the woman heard the voice, she turned her head to look at Liang Wenbo, and after about two or three seconds, a smile appeared on her face and she said, "Abo is back." ”
Liang Wenbo smiled and said, "Yes, I'm back." He pointed to the carton on the table, "Auntie, I'll bring you walnut crisp." ”
The woman stretched out her hand and stroked Liang Wenbo's head a few times, her face was full of love, and said, "Abo is really sensible. Are you so well-behaved at school today?"
Liang Wenbo said: "Auntie, I have graduated and am now working. ”
"Really?" the woman's face showed a look of surprise, and then she nodded and said, "Oh, yes, Abo has grown up!" and laughed again, holding Liang Wenbo's hand, and asked about his work.
As he spoke, Liang Wenbo saw that the woman's eyelids were heavy, so he lowered his voice softer and slower. After another moment, the woman closed her eyes and took a nap.
Liang Wenbo squatted on the grass and looked at it for a while, and after confirming that the woman was asleep, he slowly stood up and gently withdrew the hand held by the woman. His movements were already extremely gentle, but the movement still woke the woman up.
The woman opened her eyes and looked at Liang Wenbo, then smiled and said, "Abo is back!"
Liang Wenbo squatted down again and said, "Yes, I'm back." ”
The woman raised her hand and stroked his head and said, "Did Abo be naughty at school today?"
Before Liang Wenbo could speak, he heard a cold voice behind him say, "Mom, Abo has already graduated, so you don't need to go to school anymore." When I turned around, I saw that Lin Ruoxi didn't know when he came over.
The woman was amazed and said, "Yes? Oh, no." In the blink of an eye, both of you have grown up. Seeing a box of snacks on the table, he said, "Fine, why don't you open the walnut cake and give it to Abo!"
Lin Ruoxi said: "That was brought to you by Abo." ”
The woman smiled and said, "Abo is so sensible, I remember that I like to eat this." ”
Liang Wenbo said: "Auntie, I always remember it. ”
After a conversation, the woman began to take a nap again. Liang Wenbo watched quietly beside him, and Lin Ruoxi said, "You can go now." ”
Liang Wenbo glanced at Lin Ruoxi, then turned around and walked out. When he was about to enter the bamboo forest, he heard the woman behind him say, "Abo, when did you come back?"
He turned around and walked back, and before he could speak, Lin Ruoxi had already said for him: "Mom, Abo still has something to do, and he has to go." ”
The woman said, "Oh, he has something, you should go and help him!"
Lin Ruoxi said: "Okay. He glanced at Liang Wenbo, turned his back and walked out.
Liang Wenbo sighed softly and followed behind Lin Ruoxi. After entering the small bamboo forest, he heard the woman say something to him again, so he stopped.
Lin Ruoxi said without looking back: "Let's go." ”
Liang Wenbo said: "I still want to stay a little longer. ”
Lin Ruoxi said lightly: "It doesn't make sense." ”
Liang Wenbo looked at Lin Ruoxi's back, and was dissatisfied with the boss, but he did not disobey her words.
The two walked out of the arched courtyard gate, and Lin Ruoxi saw Liang Wenbo's look of confusion, and said, "No matter how long you stay, she won't remember, just when you just came over, don't do stupid things." ”
Liang Wenbo looked at Lin Ruoxi, and after being silent for a moment, he finally couldn't help but say: "No matter how long you leave, she will treat you as if you just left, so you are very at ease, right?"
Lin Ruoxi frowned and said, "Are you teaching me a lesson?"
Liang Wenbo said: "How dare I, I just think that it doesn't matter if she knows some things, what matters is whether we do it or not." ”
Lin Ruoxi said: "You haven't been home for a month, do you still tell me this?"
Liang Wenbo said: "I spent much longer in front of my aunt than you!"
Lin Ruoxi said: "You can only find a little comfort from her, don't you feel ashamed?"
Since he was a child, Liang Wenbo has lost count of how many times he has heard such sarcastic words in Lin Ruoxi's mouth, and every time it makes him feel very aggrieved. But this time, his state of mind was still very calm.
He looked at Lin Ruoxi and said, "I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of, and that was many years ago." ”
Lin Ruoxi shook his head and said, "You don't even have the courage to admit that you are cowardly, you are really getting more and more disappointed." ”
"At least I know now that I should do what I think is right," Liang said. ”
The corners of Lin Ruoxi's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, and said: "What you think is right does not mean that you are right, in fact, most of the time you are wrong." And things are done, not spoken. ”
Liang Wenbo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you see how I do it." ”
Lin Ruoxi said disapprenously: "Are you doing things just to show me? When will you grow up?" ”
If he had been hit by Lin Ruoxi one after another, even if Liang Wenbo was not so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, he would have choked back his internal injuries. However, getting along with Mo Fan recently, my ability to resist attacks in this area has been greatly improved. And he remembered Mo Fan's words, when facing Lin Ruoxi, don't treat her as an enemy. This is her sister-in-law, even if she doesn't admit it in her mouth, she won't deny it in her heart. This kind of blood relationship cannot be changed by anyone.
"If you're not my sister, I'm too lazy to show you. Liang Wenbo pretended to be an understatement, and as he spoke, he peeked at Lin Ruoxi and saw that her expression did not change at all.
In Liang Wenbo's memory, Lin Ruoxi has always been like this when she was a child, and she has almost never seen her show big mood swings. She's not the kind of wooden person who doesn't feel anything, but she seems to be naturally good at controlling her emotions, and although she has various facial expressions, she always looks faint.
In fact, now that everyone is older, it feels a little better. It's a weird feeling for a child to neither laugh nor cry. Liang Wenbo feels that his psychological shadow on Lin Ruoxi comes from her character to a large extent.
However, Lin Ruoxi's noncommittal attitude at this time at least shows that she is not angry. Seeing that Lin Ruoxi didn't say anything more, Liang Wenbo said, "I'm leaving." ”
Lin Ruoxi said, "Don't you eat at home?"
Liang Wenbo pursed his lips and said, "It's not like I'm eating alone at home, what's the point, it's better for me to be with friends." ”
Lin Ruoxi let out a "hmm" and didn't say anything more. Seeing Liang Wenbo's figure disappear into the building, she re-entered the bamboo forest courtyard behind her.
Liang Wenbo came back today, which brought her a little surprise. She found that Liang Wenbo was indeed a little different from the past, and the direction of change was exactly what she hoped for.
There is a way that the country is changing, and the temperament is difficult to change, and even the slightest change in temperament cannot be produced for no reason.
Lin Ruoxi knew that Liang Wenbo had been with Mo Fan recently, and speculated that this was probably influenced by Mo Fan. Although Liang Wenbo seems to be easy-going and easy to deal with, some things in her heart are still quite stubborn, and now she can let go of her unrealistic dream of becoming a painter and begin to work with her heart, which makes her feel a little curious about Mo Fan.
When he first met Mo Fan at an art exhibition, Lin Ruoxi really regarded him as a gentleman, and he maintained this impression for a long time after that.
But now she knows that Mo Fan works in the sales department of Haitian Electronics. She has carefully read the information of all the people in the sales department. It was precisely because she had a certain understanding that she felt a little unable to see through this person.
Walking to the grass in front of the small building, Lin Ruoxi said to the woman, "Mom, go inside and rest for a while." ”
The woman was obedient to her words, and went with her into the small building, and lay down on a soft couch in the hall.
Lin Ruoxi sat down in front of the piano next to the soft couch, opened the lid and played. The gentle and stretched melody sounded, like a gurgling stream in the mountains, without half a bit of fireworks, as if it could remove all distractions from people's hearts and make the mood very peaceful.
The woman listened to the sound of the harp and gradually fell asleep.
Lin Ruoxi turned her head sideways and saw that her mother was asleep, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Only the smile at this time is the true expression of her inner emotions.
The sound of the piano didn't stop there. Her slender and slender fingers danced on the black and white keys, like enchanted elves, full of beauty.
